A book to turn anyone into a poetry lover.
What is poetry to a spider, squirrel, chipmunk, frog, turtle, cricket, and an owl?

Daniel asks all of the animals he encounters what poetry is and uses their answers to craft a beautiful poem which he shares at a Poetry in the Park reading.
Oil and collage artwork. Such a good read aloud, highly recommended for sharing with PreK-2+.

Gorgeous collage illustrations and a subtly fantastical story that builds a quiet, lovely, poetic conclusion. Perfect for nature lovers & STEAM curriculum.
This book is the perfect book to launch the initial poetry lesson or unit. In the same pattern as DANIEL'S GOOD DAY, Daniel asks every creature that he meets, "What is poetry?" The next step would be to find examples of poems that meet the individuals' definitions. That's a good project for the summer.

Gorgeous introduction to poetry for little kids. The illustrations are as sweet as the text. Love this one.
Truly lovely, this made me want to go to the park and write a poem. Magical.
What a beautiful introduction to poetry for our youngest readers!
